Good night,

my iterpretation of some events is:

By about 21:45, Ivo brought a fish and Irma somehow gave it to two of the osprets (no idea about ring name), who start to peak it, shoulder by shoulder. Somehow it was clear that now the osprets should have their time to start to feed theirselves, but it was like a training session since nobody looked really terribly hungry except... the third ospret, who came close to Irma asking for the food (poor little one) so Irma approached the other two and took "their" fish and start to feed the third one. Nobody complained. Irma showed a very mature management of the situation, years ago she was feeding following a strict order of (at least for me) stronger first-weaker last.
Then by about 22:00 Irma started to do some housekeeping, and at some point she and the three little ones were moving branches and twigs here and there...

Now the osprets and also myself are falling down willing to go

Have a nice night,

Maria
